  • Demand for Litecoin comes through ecosystem upgrades, such as record adoption of the MWEB privacy and storage layer and ongoing development of LitecoinVM.
  • LTC price continues to flirt with $83.5 while analysts await a potential breakout above $100 in the near term.

More and more public-listed firm are getting comfortable with having Litecoin as a treasury asset. Latest data shows these firms and investment firms collectively hold over 3.7 million LTC. This shows a surge of one million LTC since August. Furthermore, the launch of the LTC ETF by Canary Capital brings greater legitimacy to the product.

Litecoin Treasury and ETH Holdings Surge

Public investment vehicles and corporate treasuries have increased their LTC exposure over the past two months. On-chain data shows that, along with asset manager Grayscale, corporate players like LiteStrategy and Luxxfolio, have increased their Litecoin treasury, as reported by CNF.

Another major reason behind the rising LTC demand is that the blockchain is putting greater focus on privacy matters. The Litecoin Foundation also announced that the volume of LTC pegged into the MWEB network has reached a new all-time high. The Foundation said the milestone reflects increasing adoption of MWEB as a trusted optional privacy and storage feature within the Litecoin ecosystem.

On the other hand, developers behind LitecoinVM are working to upgrade the blockchain’s economic architecture. The project introduces new funding mechanics that seek to improve capital efficiency and establish predictable, sustainable yield pathways, replacing the short-term liquidity patterns that are common in other ecosystems.

According to the team, the framework could support estimated yields of 7–11 percent on native LTC without altering Litecoin’s base-layer design. It also outlines a foundation for bringing decentralized finance capabilities to one of the industry’s longest-standing proof-of-work networks.

The initiative effectively adds a new economic layer atop LTC. It combines MWEB privacy features, PoW security, and the programmability introduced through LitVM to position LTC as a yield-generating asset for the first time.

Will LTC Price Rally to $100 Soon?

Litecoin’s native cryptocurrency LTC continues to flirt with $83.5, trading almost flat on the weekly chart. Over the past month, the LTC price has dropped 17% amid strong selling pressure in the market.

Analyst CryptoWZRD reported that Litecoin ended the daily session with an indecisive close. The analyst noted that there’s a clear lack of directional momentum. He added that traders will need to vote for more constructive price action before identifying the next trading setup.

Another market commentator, Master, suggested that Litecoin is approaching a bottom amid heightened price compression. He noted that this sets the stage for a new all-time high ahead.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark.

Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit

Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit

The post Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The lead developer of Shiba Inu, Shytoshi Kusama, has publicly addressed the Shibarium bridge exploit that occurred recently, draining $2.4 million from the network. After days of speculation about his involvement in managing the crisis, the project leader broke his silence. Kusama emphasized that a special “war room” has been set up to restore stolen finances and enhance network security. The statement is his first official words since the bridge compromise occurred. “Although I am focusing on AI initiatives to benefit all our tokens, I remain with the developers and leadership in the war room,” Kusama posted on social media platform X. He dismissed claims that he had distanced himself from the project as “utterly preposterous.” The developer said that the reason behind his silence at first was strategic. Before he could make any statements publicly, he must have taken time to evaluate what he termed a complex and deep situation properly. Kusama also vowed to provide further updates in the official Shiba Inu channels as the team comes up with long-term solutions. As highlighted in our previous article, targeted Shibarium’s bridge infrastructure through a sophisticated attack vector. Hackers gained unauthorized access to validator signing keys, compromising the network’s security framework. The hackers executed a flash loan to acquire 4.6 million BONE ShibaSwap tokens. The validator power on the network was majority held by them after this purchase. They were able to transfer assets out of Shibarium with this control. The response of Shibarium developers was timely to limit the breach. They instantly halted all validator functions in order to avoid additional exploitation. The team proceeded to deposit the assets under staking in a multisig hardware wallet that is secure. External security companies were involved in the investigation effort. Hexens, Seal 911, and PeckShield are collaborating with internal developers to…
